I think you can see where this is going. Thank Nayru for the Hylian Shield, that thing saved me from many many failed shield bashes.

Don't get me wrong it was incredibly intense though, and I adored the ending. Just...that boss. You sir are quite hard.

Also is it me or

Spoiler! :

does Ghirahim get easier and easier as you go on? I mean I hated fighting him the first time I played, he kicked my ass at least 5 times. Then the second fight I almost lost but I beat him my first try, and the last time you fight him he's a major cakewalk, barely even took damage. I mean the first boss would've been easier if I had known about shield bashing during battles but before I was struggling like crazy. Getting to the end I was almost sad he was so easy.

Except not because I was so happy his ass was dead. Loved his character, but dreaded his fights. When I knew I had to fight him to get the Hylian Shield I dreaded having to fight him. I was lucky enough I only needed to fight Demise twice as well, I BARELY beat him on the second fight. I think if he had gotten up and taken one more step I would've lost right there. It was insanely lucky.

Anyway, interesting news. It still sounds like a rumor, but it's interesting. I wouldn't mind it looking like Skyward Sword, but with Nintendo, you never know. The tech-demo for Gamecube had OOT, we got Windwaker. Wonder what to story would revolve around now that the timeline is now out and the open.

And assuming it's real, I wonder to what extent Nintendo considers TP and SS artstyles to defer? Because the artstyle of the tech demo was gawjuss, and struck a great balance between TP and SS styles. I'd enjoy seeing something similar to that.

Spoiler! :

And I know it'd never happen, but I don't care what artstyle they use if they gave us another sho... Young Link. <3

I feel this thread is totally worth bumping after the last Nintendo Direct. Should've done so sooner, but yeah, Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages coming to the 3DS eShop and a sequel to LttP is in the making~EVERYONE GET HYPE.

Good to see a video with the bottom screen in the view and someone who can actually play is great. Plus the music sounds pretty good.

My body is so damn ready. That music and atmosphere... Ohhh man, it's seriously so perfectly LttP universe. I know I've gushed about this a bit already but man... That dim atmosphere, that eerie music, (and wonderfully deadly-sounding boss music,) that young Link, even the sound effects are gloriously nostalgia-ridden and straight out of LttP. I love Nintendo for being such gods of combining old and new. I can feel nostalgic while still enjoying a new experience. I don't even care about the drawing gimmick anymore, I just can't wait for this game. I hope Nintendo packs plenty of content and side stuff to do into it, the more I see of this game the more I feel that it'll skyrocket into my list of favorite Zelda games.

Spoiler! :

And it's cool seeing Moldorm again, even though they made him easier to beat, haha.

I saw this on Escher Girls and thought it was kind of a dumb idea. I honestly think it's a good idea to have more games with a female lead, but doing what looks like a gender-swapped Link seems kind of a wasted opportunity. Why not play as Zelda from SSBB, where she can swap between Princess Zelda and Sheik. You could do a sort of a stealth/action platformer game where both have different attributes that aid in accomplishing goals, like Zelda can use magic to clear large groups of enemies and float to reach certain areas, and Sheik could do stealth and more targeted attacks. As for story, it would be kind of clever to set it as going on in one of the other previous game continuities with Zelda doing things in the background that play into the main story that Link is unaware of.

Oh man, I've seen and talked about this before.

I pretty much agree. I feel like just slapping a Link costume on Zelda and giving her some powers is kind of lame honestly. Don't get me wrong, it's a cool idea, but I'd much rather see this kind of idea given to another character entirely completely separate from the Zelda series. Not because it shakes up the Zelda series so much but because this is such a cool idea that I'd rather see this being made its own series that gets more games than see it get maybe one game and be considered "one of those spin-off games". It has much more potential as a separate game in my opinion just because the idea is so unique.

That said, if there were to be a game starring Zelda, why not just keep with her current design? She can still be a kick ass battle princess in a dress or going around with Shiek. She's already really powerful; changing up her outfit might make her more versatile but it should be something more unique, not just a Link costume pallete swap. Yeah I know, it's the traditional hero's clothing but still. If you're going to go through the trouble of making an entire game situated around Zelda, why not give her her own outfit specially designed for her? It would further distinguish the game and it would be completely acceptable to change up the Hero's clothing.
